Lent... a geat time for Mindfullness
Here's a Lenten Poem from pastor Rob Bell with a reminder to be mindfull!
WALK DON’T RUN
Walk, don’t
run.
That’s it.
Walk, don’t run.
That’s it.
Walk, don’t run.
Slow down,
breathe deeply,
and open your eyes because there’s
a whole world right here within this one. The bush doesn’t suddenly catch on fire, it’s been burning the whole time.

Moses is
simply moving
slowly enough to see it. And when he does,
he takes off his sandals.
slowly enough to see it. And when he does,
he takes off his sandals.
Not because
the ground has suddenly become holy,
but because he’s just now becoming aware that
the ground has been holy the whole time.

Efficiency
is not God’s highest goal for your life,
neither is busyness,
or how many things you can get done in one day,
or speed, or even success.

But walking,
which leads to seeing,
now that’s something.
That’s the invitation for every one of us today,
and everyday, in every conversation, interaction,
event, and moment: to walk, not run. And in doing so,
to see a whole world right here within this one.
